#3 FINISH

Saturday night the Lady Warriors traveled to Bethel College where they faced the last game of the season against the Threshers. The Warriors were ready to face the Threshers as they stepped out on the field and senior Kylie Yates put one away at the back post just ten minutes into the half. The Threshers were just as ready for the Warriors. Less than 5 minutes later the Lady Threshers were able to knock a ball in after a blocked corner kick attempt. With 11 minutes left in the half junior Karina Noah was subbed onto the field and showed what she could do when she dribbled 35 yards and put the ball just over the keeper making the game 2-1.

Going into the second half the Warriors knew they would have to keep fighting hard to stay on top. Sophomore Anelly Laguna helped out the Warriors when she was able to take the ball down the middle and drill it into the back of the net giving the Warriors a bigger advantage. That advantage didn’t last for long when the Threshers were given a free kick 30 yards out and put it away making the game 3-2. The back and forth continued when senior Kylie Yates did what she’s done all season by putting in yet another goal (making it her 22nd of the season) with about 15 minutes left in the half. The Warriors were elated to put the lead at 4-2. The Threshers again answered that Sterling goal when another free kick was given to them making the game 4-3 and putting the Bethel College crowd in a frenzy as they cheered their team on. The time on the clock seemed to count down even slower as the last 10 minutes of the game winded down.

The game ended with a 4-3 WIN over the Bethel Threshers giving the Warriors a 3rd place spot in the conference and 4th place seed in the upcoming conference tournament.

This Friday at 4pm the Lady Warriors will again host McPherson College in the first round of the conference tournament.
